Chapter 459: The Global Opening Plan

What Expert Chen proposed was indeed a challenging problem.

Even though the supernatural revival becomes more intense, many people around the world, either willingly or unwillingly, become Ghost Masters. However, among the global population of 7.8 billion people, the majority are still ordinary individuals.

In order to make the entire population enter the real world, at least several challenges need to be faced:

First, it is not difficult to make sure that the sound of the Two Realms Bell reaches every corner of the world, as it has already demonstrated this ability before.

The challenge lies in how to make these people peacefully open the numerous doors and enter the real world.

As the saying goes, with big trees come withered branches, and where there are many people, there are fools.

Some people will not obediently listen to you or do what you want them to do. Even if you explain repeatedly that it is for their own good, they may still act foolishly without thinking, even harming themselves and others.

8 billion people, the majority are still ordinary individuals.

6. Some people will not obediently listen to you or do what you want them to do. Even if you explain repeatedly that it is for their own good, they may still act foolishly without thinking, even harming themselves and others.

7. Furthermore, because the supernatural revival is ongoing, ghosts can appear anywhere in the world.

If someone happens to be chased by a ghost and there is a door open in front of them, if they immediately run into the door, they may very well bring the ghost with them…

Lastly, some individuals are actually not happy to see the end of the supernatural revival, as they are the ones benefiting from it.

For example, if Chu Jiang is a wicked villain boss, would he want the supernatural revival to end?

Of course not, with his own powerful strength, he captures S-class ghosts everywhere and threatens the whole world. Only then can he prove his worth as a savior and be admired by everyone.

While many people may not reach Chu Jiang’s level, within their own territory, he is the supreme ruler. Without external threats, they cannot continue to abuse their power.

In summary, for these people, they are worried both that the supernatural revival will escalate and completely destroy their dominance, and that the supernatural revival will suddenly disappear and cause their status to plummet.

After listening to these main difficulties, Chu Jiang immediately decided, "Let’s start with a small-scale pilot project and try to let our country’s people return to the real world first."

"As for other countries, let the research institute communicate with their governments. It’s their choice whether they want to live or die; anyway, we have already shown them the way. We can’t stop those who want to die."

As for keeping secrets and deliberately denying foreigners a way out, this strategy is not very feasible.

One reason is that Chu Jiang is not so narrow-minded; he always dislikes ghosts, as they disrupt normal human life.

Another reason is that even if Chu Jiang and his group do this, the people of Kyushu will suddenly not fear ghost attacks, even a fool would realize that something is amiss.

Then, even though the people of the Nine Provinces were not afraid of ghosts, they could still be killed by people, modern high-tech weapons, and nuclear weapons.

So unless Chu Jiang kills all the foreigners, they might choose to die together in despair, in the final climax of the supernatural revival.

"And then there’s the issue of preventing evil spirits from sneaking in, which requires us to make sure not to open too many doors at once, preferably in batches."

"Finally, this large-scale operation may affect the interests of certain individuals, and they are likely to cause trouble in secret."

"In this regard, let me personally take care of it, killing him until there’s blood flowing like a river, heads rolling. That way, no one will dare to interfere."

Speaking of the last sentence, Chu Jiang’s tone was calm, without any killing intent, but the calmer he was, the more chilling it seemed.

Expert Chen nodded, "I also think the same way. It would be great if you’re willing to cooperate. You don’t need to keep an eye on it all the time, just take the lead, and there are plenty of people domestically and internationally who will respond."

"After all, the vast majority of people in the world are ordinary people. They also don’t want ghosts to mix into the real world. If it really happens, it would be a complete disaster."

With the discussion concluded, the execution phase was next.

In the following days, Chu Jiang didn’t leave the headquarters anymore. Instead, he actively participated in the "Global Door Opening" project.

The straightforward name of this plan was chosen by the mysterious former dean of the research institute, who is rarely seen. According to him, names like "Save Humanity Action," "Heaven Patching Plan," or "Noah’s Ark" were too fancy. He simply called it "Global Door Opening," which is easy to understand.

Before the official action, led by Research Institute No. 21, the official institutions of the five major countries in the world held an online meeting.

When they found out that the Kyushu side actually possessed the ultimate method to solve supernatural revival, the high-level members of these supernatural organizations from foreign countries were shocked.

Then came a long period of arguing, negotiating, conflicting interests, and the global process, and so on.

Although Chu Jiang was proactive, he found these meetings to be very dull. In the end, he just made the decision for the research institute. His only responsibility was to kill and solve the most difficult obstacles.

As soon as Chu Jiang spoke, the meeting immediately fell silent, and then continued the discussion in hushed voices…

After the initial plan was discussed, elites from various countries were responsible for optimizing the plan and suggesting new ideas.

Half a month later, another meeting was held. This time it was a global conference, where representatives from famous countries attended, and there were also voting sessions.

Of course, the general rules have been mostly discussed by the first five countries. Those who come later can only choose to agree or disagree.

And even if most people disagree, it doesn’t matter because as long as the first five countries vote in favor, that’s what we call "might is right".

Of course, the smaller countries can also refuse to accept the existing plan, but the result of doing so is putting themselves in a dead end.

Actually, the plan is not too strict, after all, it was the result of a long argument. The main purpose is to prevent certain countries from acting on their own and make them follow the arrangement.

Anyway, that’s how the plan is. Those who want to survive can join, and those who don’t want to are not forced.

After a month of argument, there were still some stubborn individuals, but more than 97 percent of the people have reached a consensus.

And so, the global opening plan is officially launched!

In the first phase, it starts with Kyushu and proceeds in small batches. Then there will be televised speeches to inform the truth, hoping for cooperation from all the people.

Due to the fact that their own lives are at stake, and it’s just a matter of opening a door, many people are willing to do it.

From this stage onwards, some noise started to appear, but with the powerful Ghost Master group led by Chu Jiang suppressing violence, all problems were no longer problems.

In the second stage, when the people of Jiuzhou had gotten rid of the ghosts and started living normal lives, other countries also requested to try it out.

So, the countries started to debate in order over the issue, and systematically proceeded with the next country’s plan.

In the third stage, consolidating the achievements, half a year had already passed and the majority of the global population had entered the real world.

This mainly benefited from the fact that the execution of the plan became faster as time went on; in any case, opening a door was all that was needed, and you could still control the number of people. After all the commotion, it was already considered slow.

If it weren’t for the constant threat of supernatural revival, some people would probably have dragged it out for a year.

By the third stage, the remaining people who hadn’t entered the real world were already a minority.

They were mostly left behind due to various reasons, such as not cooperating in the earlier stages and then becoming hesitant in the later stages, so their order was pushed to the back.

Furthermore, the global official institutions agreed: a limited time of half a year.

If someone doesn’t actively accept the door-opening plan within six months, it means that they can only forever stay in this world entangled with ghosts.

……

Within these six months, the global supernatural community also experienced a new round of reshuffling and changes in the structure.

Firstly, since there is no need to protect other humans anymore, the survival rate of Ghost Masters has skyrocketed.

Anyway, just find a way to save your own life. As long as you’re not too unlucky or too reckless, with the various strange abilities of Ghost Masters, you can still struggle to survive in this gloomy world.

It is especially important to stick together at this time. Although you can no longer selfishly only save yourself, helping each other as a group is always stronger than a single person’s power.

So the supernatural organizations of various countries have not disbanded. On the contrary, they have become even more prosperous. Even ordinary Ghost Masters tend to act together.

Of course, this is also related to the increasingly terrifying resurgence of the supernatural. Within these six months, nine new S-class ghosts have emerged, and the number of A, B, and C-class ghosts is too numerous to count.

Some powerful ghosts even establish their own territory, and regular Ghost Masters dare not provoke them.

As for hoping that Chu Jiang will come out and kill everyone, it’s not realistic. He declared that he is not responsible for anyone who doesn’t want to enter the real world and dies.

As for Ghost Master, Ghost Master has to rely on his own abilities to stay alive.

Of course, even though Chu Jiang didn’t say it, when something big happens at Research Institute No. 21, he will still come forward and take charge.

This also led to Research Institute No. 21 in Kyushu becoming the most selective paranormal organization in the world.

At this point, even the boundaries between countries and races began to blur.

After all, civilians no longer need protection, and Ghost Masters are more concerned about their own lives. As a result, they naturally lean towards more powerful individuals.

Finally, due to strict controls by official institutions in each country, no ghosts managed to sneak into the real world. And those who entered, time and time again, proved to the world that as long as ordinary people can enter it, they declare farewell to those ghostly things forever.

What’s even more incredible is that when only Zhang Haoran is in the real world, even though he can’t see ghosts, when a building is shattered by ghosts, he can still see the destruction of physical objects with his eyes.

But in the third stage, whether it’s Zhang Haoran or other people in the real world, they can no longer see the destruction caused by ghosts in the real world. In their eyes, the shattered building appears intact, and they can walk on it as usual.

Research Institute No. 21 closely studied this phenomenon and called it the "Observation Effect".

Another interesting point is that although people all over the world basically know the truth about ghosts, countries prohibit discussing related matters.

The leaders of each country have decided to completely bury the fact that the world has been invaded by ghosts. They even forbid keeping and spreading any written, pictorial, or video materials privately.

As a result, even if the stories are passed down from mouth to mouth, after several generations, the future descendants will scoff at them and consider them as outdated superstitions of the dead.

Perhaps in the future, there will be scientists and historians who will publish a research report on "Mass Hysteria". It will tell the story of a generation who was obsessed with fantasies about ghosts…
